April Surgery Buddy

I’m scheduled for 4/8. Would love a support buddy going through pre-op liquid diet and surgery around the same time for support :)

  • Surgery twins! I’m having RNY bypass, how about you? Today is day 1 of my 3 week pre-op liquid diet.

  • It’s going! Lol Day 4 down. It’s mentally challenging more than anything. With all of the protein shakes I can’t say I’m overly hungry or anything but I do miss chewing. Jello and chewing ice pops hav

Yes! We’ve got this!! ?? The time is actually flying. I have to pick up some of the protein water to try.

Day 6/21 of liquids today and proud of myself for sticking to it.

Hi I could use a buddy too. My surgery for sg is scheduled 4/5. Excited and nervous! My doc office has not been the best at relaying all the info and I am a little overwhelmed at all of the appts. I was told to start a liquid diet 3/29 but I can only have 1 protein shake per day. I think that scares me more than anything :). Looking for any friends who can offer any help at all!

I know all of the appts have been so overwhelming, we are almost there!

I would confirm the pre-op liquid diet plan with your doctors office. Did you have to see a nutritionist? I know every plan is different, but mine has me doing 6 protein shakes a day. I couldn’t imagine getting through this on only one per day ?

Hi, @enamio18! I did see a nutritionist for 6 mos. I just got the email from my doc yesterday and it shows 1 shake. Boo.
I am going to do my best, but I did buy a few extra in case I am dying.

Had bypass 4/8. Feeling ok, still some pain. I like premier clear, Ensure Max Protein, and UNJURY. Opurity chewable vitamins fro UNJURY site. Adding UNJURY flavorless to jello, yum!
